Seven Records Are Broken By 1950 Kansas Eleven
By RAY SOLDAN
Kansas' 1950 football team—the greatest running team in school history—broke seven team and individual offensive records.
Team records which fell were total offense, rushing offense, and first downs. All of the new individual marks were set by Wade Stinson, senior halfback.
In addition, a new home attendance record was set. The five home games attracted more than 150,000 fans. The former high of 145,500 was established last year.
The new team records are as follows:
Total offense - 3,968 yards, bettering the old record of 3,835 set by Kansas' 1947 Orange Bowl team in 11 games. The Jayhawkers were the 12th in the nation in total offense.
Rushing offense—3,116 yards, almost 1,000 yards more than the former record set in 1947. The old mark was 2,230 yards set in 11 games. Kansas was fourth in the nation on the final rushing tables. Kansas' average of 311.6 yards a game is the 13th highest among major colleges since N.C.A.A. record-keeping was started in 1937.
The Jayhawkers fell only 20 points short of setting a new season scoring record. As it is the 284 points scored this season is the second-highest total in school history.
First downs—162. The old mark was 157, also set by the 1947 team over an 11-game route.
Stinson's new marks are as follows:
Scoring and touchdowns in a season- 84 points and 14 touchdowns.
bettering Bud French's 1949 total of
36 points and 11 touchdowns.
Yards rushing in a season—1,129 yards, more than doubling French's 1949 total of 510 yards. Teammate Charlie Hoog gained 940 yards to also better the old standard.
Yards rushing in a game—239 yards against Utah, betraying Ray Nibilo's 138 yards set in 1941. Hoag twice tapped Nibilo's mark with 140 yards against Iowa State and 149 yards against Kansas State.
WADE STINSON DOLPH SIMONS
Stinson also tied the single-game scoring record with 18 points against Utah. The record was established by Ray Evans in 1946 against Arizona and equalled by Evans the next year against Kansas State.
Wade's L129-yard rushing total puts him high on the national lists. Before this season, only seven players had gained more yards than since this the N.C.A.B. a began keeping records in 1937. Sueh stars as Davis and Blanchard of Army, Fenimore of Oklahoma A. and M., Jensen of California, Harmon of Michigan, Justice of North Carolina, Trippi of Georgia, Wedemeyer of St. Mary's, and Dudley of Virginia, all of them
The runners will be joined by the jumpers and throwers, drawn largely from the ranks of the football squad, during the next few days, Coach Easton said. The field men will report to assistant coach Jim McConnell, who ranks as an expert in that phase of the sport by virtue of two consecutive Kansas Relays decathlon championships.

Five football squadmen have already reported and six or seven more are expected in the near future, McConnell said. Both coaches expressed an eagerness to see candidates for the weight events from among the "well-conditioned football men." Anyone is welcome, though, who can throw the shot, high jump,

Stinson and Hoag are only the second backfield pair in modern-college history to run up more than 2,030 yards rushing in a single season. In 1942, Mobley and Wilson of Hardin-Simmons teamed up to gain 2,262 yards. Between them Hoag and Stinson netted 2,069.

Only Bobby Reynolds, Nebraska's sophomore star, and Bob Steuber, former Missouri all-American, top Stinson in the Big Seven rushing derby. Their totals are Reynolds 1,342 yards in nine games, Steuber 1,183 yards in 12 games (1942), and Stinson 1,129 yards in 10 games.
The over-all blocking of the Kansas team contributed greatly to setting the new records. Among the top blockers were Mike McCormack, Johnny Amberg, Bob Talkington, Lyn Smith, George Mrkinic, Hoag, Bill Schaake, Dolph Simons, and Wint Winter.
Arthur C. Lonborg, University athletic director, has announced the following Varsity two-mile letter winners and freshmen two-mile numeral winners:
No punting records are available, but Simon's average of 41.1 yards a kick is optionally good and it may be the best in school history. Mother note-worthy achievement is Simons' record of never having a punt blocked in his three years with the Jayhawkers. He puned 84 times. Simons never had a punt blocked in high school either.

The Jayhawkers open their season with a dial meet with the Oklahoma Sooner at Norman, Okla. on Saturday, Feb. 3. Succeeding weekends find them visiting Nebraska at Lincoln on Saturday, Feb. 10; at Kansas State at Manhattan on Saturday, Feb. 17 to inaugurate the Wildcats new fieldhouse track; and to Missouri at Columbia on Friday, Feb. 23. The Big Seven championship meet will be run off in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium on Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3.
"How near we come to winning the conference championship again this year depends on how many good men we can get worked into condition by the time the season starts." Easton said.
Freshmen: Wes Santee, Ashland; Lloyd Koby, Sedgwick; Norman Bitner, Kansas City, Kan.; Art Dalzell, Spring Hill, and Dick Wilson, Albany, New York.
